Our first time at a five star hotel and the Gran Tacande didnt disappoint. Some people said it wasn't 5 star to the UK standard but we were very impressed. It's a beautiful looking hotel, the decor is really stylish and our room (a superior) was spacious and modern.
The outside pool was lovely - huge and always very clean. We didn't use the indoor one. Loved the spa facilities.
Food was delicious although a little expensive, so we ate out quite a bit. The main town is 5 mins walk away. We also hired a car and explored some of the island. 2 thumbs up for the Gran Tacande!

We visit Tenerife every year around Christmas time, and, through experience, we've learned that the hotels there are almost always overbooked. Given that, we've found it's best to book direct. Booked through the hotel's website without any problem. They even had a chat service, which was useful, because we wanted to verify that the hotel had a crib for our baby. As it turns out, no problem, the crib was free and everything was prepared in the room upon our arrival. The staff even surprised us with a bottle of champagne in the room. Nice touch. The hotel itself is gorgeous. Check in went very quickly and the porter helped deliver our luggage directly to our room. The mini-bar was fully stocked with first class spirits, the room itself was massive and offered a very spacious balcony with splendid views over the pool. We didn't go for the optional sea view upgrade (that costs extra), but we didn't have any complaints. We couldn't see the ocean from inside of our room, but we had a lovely view out to the sea across the pool area from our balcony. The breakfast buffet was heavenly and the waitstaff practically bent over backwards to help us, especially warming up the baby's bottles in the kitchen while we ate! As I said, the hotel lies a little outside the main tourist center of Playa de las Americas, so we wound up dining in several nights at the hotel. We don't normally prefer buffet dinners, but it has to be said that everything was done superbly and they rotated the buffet theme every night, so you always had something new and freshly prepared. We especially enjoyed the pool area and the spa. The hotel had a babysitting service, so my wife and I were able to spend a few hours everyday together lounging poolside, while our baby napped in the nursery. It was great and there was no fighting for loungers poolside at 5 o'clock in the morning. All in all a great hotel and a great stay. Definitely great value for the money. Just plan ahead and rent a car if you have a small child and want to venture out much.
